"Mr. Lu Chen, do you have time at nine o'clock tomorrow morning?"
The voice from the other side of the phone was very polite and sweet, and even gave people a hint of wonderful reverie.
Lu Chen didn't think too much about it. The first thing he thought of was the album he was about to produce, so he immediately replied: "I have time, Ms. Ni, can I ask what it is?"
Lu Chen did not expect that the sales representative of Tian Lai Workshop would take the initiative to call him. For a few days, he was also considering the issue of album production. Tian Lai Workshop is of course the first choice, but it is not the only choice.
The other party is now calling to invite him, so there should be good news, right
Lu Chen couldn't be sure, after all, he was still a newcomer in this circle, the more he thought about it, the more disappointed he would be.
Ms. Ni smiled lightly and said: "It's a surprise. One of the directors of our Tianlai Workshop wants to have an interview with you. We will meet at the coffee shop on the second floor of Delong Building at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Please report my name when you arrive, okay ?"
Lu Chen: "Okay, no problem!"
surprise? How happy are you
The director of Tianlai Workshop, sounds like a bit of a background!
Lu Chen didn't dare to think too beautifully, so the answer will be revealed tomorrow.
A night without dreams.
Early the next morning, he got up to exercise as usual, went home after breakfast, took a shower and changed his clothes.
At 9:50 in the morning, Lu Chen arrived at the Delong Building ahead of schedule.
Delong Building is a standard commercial office building, with a coffee shop and a cafeteria on the second floor. After he arrived, he reported Miss Ni's name, and was taken to a small box by the window by the waiter.
Miss Ni is already here.
Besides her, there were two other people in the box, one was a young man with a well-cut suit and a crew cut, and the other was a middle-aged man in his fifties with a square face, dressed casually but full of style.
Lu Chen recognized that the latter was wearing a valuable Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist, one of the favorite brands of business elites, and he felt somewhat relieved.
Seeing Lu Chen come in, Miss Ni and the young man stood up at the same time.
Lu Chen apologized: "I'm really sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long."
Miss Ni smiled and said: "We came early, you are not late, let me introduce you."
"This is Mr. Jin Hongwei, the director of our Tianlai Workshop and the general manager of Juxing Brokerage Company!"
Star Brokerage Company? Jin Hongwei
Lu Chen's heart trembled, and he immediately stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Jin, I have admired your name for a long time!"
What Lu Chen said was not just polite words, he really knew the name of President Jin.
Star Star Company is a well-known brokerage company in the entertainment circle, and this Jin Hongwei is not only the founder of Star Star Company, but also a big name in the industry, and there are many kings and queens under him.
For example, Tan Hong, who Lu Chen is most familiar with and loves, was discovered and cultivated by Jin Hongwei.
Another example is Chen Fei'er, the queen of music, who was also the first to sign with Juxing Company.
Lu Chen's impression of Jin Hongwei is all from gossip news in the online entertainment industry. There are many good and bad rumors, but in the entertainment brokerage industry, Jin Hongwei is recognized as the top figure.
He didn't expect Jin Hongwei to meet with him today, and this person is also one of the directors of Tianlai Workshop.
What a surprise!
Lu Chen felt a little flattered.
Jin Hongwei has a venomous gaze and a reputation for being good at finding new talents. To be spotted by him is undoubtedly the dream of those newcomers who want to step into the entertainment industry!
It wasn't until Lu Chen stretched out his hand that Jin Hongwei stood up calmly, shook hands with him and said, "Yes! Lu Chen, I heard your name half a month ago, you are a very talented young man!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jin, for your compliment."
"It's not a compliment, it's a fact!"
Jin Hongwei let go of his hand and said: "I have listened to the three songs you wrote for the Wandering Band. They are very well written. With your talent and talent, you should not be like this now. You should stand on the real stage. go up..."
"Become a big star that everyone is looking forward to, I believe you have such strength!"
His words were not very impassioned, but they were plain and firm and full of demagogic power.
Lu Chen could only smile.
Jin Hongwei's evaluation was so high that he didn't know how to answer it.
"I like you very much..."
Jin Hongwei motioned for Lu Chen to sit down and talk, and Ms. Ni poured him tea herself.
After chatting casually for a few words, Jin Hongwei stretched out his hand to the young man next to him.
This young man was Jin Hongwei's assistant, and he quickly took out a contract from his briefcase.
Holding it in his hand, Jin Hongwei said meaningfully: "Lu Chen, I know you want to release a solo album recently, have you encountered any financial problems?"
"This is very simple, our company will help you solve it, and customize it according to the highest standard specifications. In addition..."
After a pause, he continued: "In a few days, Shonan Satellite TV's second season of "The Strongest Singer" will hold an audition. Our company has a cooperation with there. How about recommending you to participate? At least make sure you are in the top three Location!"
The big man in the industry put the contract in front of Lu Chen and said, "You just need to sign it."
Jin Hongwei's voice was full of confidence, and he obviously didn't think Lu Chen would refuse.
Miss Ni smiled and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Lu Chen!"
The highest standard of album customization, the top three of "The Strongest Singer", and the praise of the Star Company...
Of course, there is also the favor of this big guy in the entertainment industry!
For any newcomer, it is a dream come true!
Lu Chen looked at the contract placed in front of him, and the fame and benefits he longed for seemed to be at his fingertips.
It just feels like everything is happening so fast!
He is not mentally prepared yet.
However, at this moment, Lu Chen was not dazzled, but calmed down.
There will be no pie in the sky. Juxing Company and Jin Hongwei are not living Lei Feng. No matter how much they pay, they will definitely earn back doubled. This contract is really what he wants to sign
Lu Chen couldn't help thinking of the news on the Internet. Tan Hong and Chen Fei'er, who were trained by Jin Hongwei, had a falling out with him in the end, and the lawsuits were raging.
Although the rumors on the Internet may not all be true, and creating public opinion must occupy the moral high ground, there must be a reason for the groundless rumors, and Jin Hongwei's evaluation in the industry is not perfect.
The contract before him reminded Lu Chen of some unpleasant memories.
His determination, which had been shaken just now, became firm again!
"Mr. Jin, thank you for your kindness..."
Lu Chen didn't look at the contract, but raised his head and said to Jin Hongwei: "But I don't plan to sign with any company, so please forgive me."
Lu Chen is not so confident that he is stronger than Tan Hong and Chen Fei'er, Jin Hongwei has given such a high salary, this contract must be very strict or even harsh, it is likely to be a contract of sale!
In order to avoid making people mistakenly think that he was playing big cards and showing off before he became popular, Lu Chen simply declined directly, clearly expressing his attitude and thoughts.
As for Jin Hongwei, Lu Chen's rejection was not at all what he expected.
How can you refuse? How can you refuse? How dare you refuse!
Jin Hongwei's astonishment was directly expressed on his face, and he lost his composure due to the depth of his city.
Jin Hongwei debuted for 30 years, from a small brokerage assistant until now, what he is most proud of is the person he wants to sign, basically there is no one who cannot be signed, and there is no disadvantage!
Back then, Tan Hong was so difficult to deal with, so he was able to handle the same.
Chen Fei'er was so arrogant back then, why didn't he still sign his name on the contract
Lu Chen is just a young rookie who hasn't made his official debut yet. He actually ignored his generous offer and refused even a glance at the contract. It's a slap in the face!
His assistant and Ms. Ni were also dumbfounded, looking at Lu Chen in disbelief.
A golden avenue of fame is paved under his feet, but Lu Chen is unwilling to step on it. Crazy or stupid
After all, Jin Hongwei is not an ordinary person, his face changed for a moment, and soon calmed down.
He asked: "Lu Chen, do you have any embarrassments, can you tell me so I can hear it?"
Lu Chen didn't know what the other party was thinking, felt very embarrassed, and explained: "President Jin, I'm really sorry, I just don't like being restrained, and I originally planned to open a personal studio, so..."
"Understood."
Jin Hongwei nodded and said, "I can understand that. I'm really sorry. I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
Lu Chen happily said, "Thank you!"
Since he had already rejected it, he couldn't stay any longer, so he got up and left.
Jin Hongwei didn't try to keep him, he just said at the end: "Lu Chen, your talent shouldn't be buried, go to participate in the strongest singer-songwriter, I am very optimistic about you!"
After Lu Chen left, the complexion of this industry leader suddenly darkened.
Even the temperature in the box has dropped a lot!
